THEORETICAL HORIZONS

This book strives to prove the saying that truth is stranger than fiction. It’s firmly based on science and technology but aims to explore how those disciplines will change with the passing decades, centuries, and eons. It’s dedicated to everyone out there who has an interest in science or philosophy - and also has an open mind, curiosity, and imagination. The 16th century seer Nostradamus foresaw a rise in new philosophies in 2025 as well as a monumental leap in science during the 21st century, possibly beginning in this year. It’ll be fascinating to see how many of this book’s predictions eventually come to pass. I believe that the whole universe - everything on Earth and in space plus everything in the past, present, and future - is entangled and unified. Everybody is part of this unity, so all information is potentially available to anybody. All you need is intense curiosity about a subject, plenty of persistence and imagination, and enough spare time to assemble all the pre-existing pieces in space and time (my contribution to this book is like putting together the pieces of a big jigsaw puzzle). The topics will appeal to the science-minded reader who is open to speculating on how conditions may evolve in the future, perhaps questioning the very foundations of our place in the universe. The first part’s 19 articles are based on research in science and technology, and was typed by the curiosity and imagination of the author who’s a member of the Information Physics Institute as well as the science website ResearchGate. It attempts to describe how present science will, unbelievably at times, evolve into the science and mathematics and technology of the future. Sometimes, it looks to later in this century . . . At other times, it dares to look billions of years ahead. Part two speculates on how this future science will turn our Earth into Utopia with no hunger, no poverty, no disease, and world peace. The book finishes with a number of Closing Remarks. A new Remark is added whenever some thoughts that appear worthy decide to invade my brain.
